Kohaku Udon & Ramen - Vincom Thảo điền

Kohaku Udon & Ramen inside Vincom Mega Mall Thao Dien is an outstanding dining destination that fully deserves a five-star rating for its exceptional food and flawless service. From a culinary perspective, the noodles and broths served here are absolute perfection. The ramen broth is rich, flavorful, and deeply comforting, while the udon noodles feature the perfect chewy texture that you expect from an authentic Japanese noodle shop. Every dish is prepared with incredible attention to flavor, freshness, and high-quality ingredients, making it a true feast for anyone craving authentic Japanese comfort food in Ho Chi Minh City. The service here is equally impressive; the staff members are exceptionally attentive, polite, and efficient, ensuring that your order arrives piping hot without any unnecessary waiting times. However, the atmosphere is more casual, earning three stars simply due to its location inside a busy shopping mall. The seating area is quite open to the bustling mall hallways and surrounding food court noise, which means it lacks the quiet, intimate ambiance of a standalone traditional restaurant. Nevertheless, this minor detail takes nothing away from the experience. The incredible quality of the food and the warmth of the hospitality far outweigh the shopping mall setting. Whether you are doing some weekend shopping or specifically seeking a bowl of delicious ramen, Kohaku Udon & Ramen is a fantastic spot that I highly recommend to all food lovers in Thao Dien.

The Rayu Soboro Tonkotsu Ramen was great—nicely spicy, with tender meat and a balanced broth. Prices are fairly high, with this dish priced at 99,000 VND before VAT. The restaurant feels cozy, though the tables could be cleaner. The staff were friendly. May 2026

No idea why it’s got such good reviews. Very mediocre. Udon was good but curry beef don huge miss. Ebi tempura so inauthentic and full of batter no prawn. Expensive too

Went there on the opening day and it was a disaster. Staff was not trained well enough to cope with the crowds coming in. They were all a bit headless. But I do believe of course over time they will get better. What was really bad, was the food. The menu was not fully available. Maybe 50%. But…and here comes the but… my Ramen was the most tasteless dish I had in a long time. The Ramen tasted more like spaghetti with dish water (and I am serious). The noodles were way to thick and so was the cut of the Chashu. I really don’t feel like giving it a second try.

I came in during their opening week or something. I had a ramen set with beef bowl. The rice in the beef bowl was not even fully cooked and that ain’t ok. The beef bowl image looks much nicer than the actually beef bowl I got. The ramen broth is not bad, but the texture of the noodles could be better.
